I think if Lurch ever clearly stated his position on anything, or clearly stated any policy he would pursue that benefit the 99%, the earth would open up and swallow him whole. All Lurch gives are worthless platitudes, talking points out and out lies. But to be sure, even if he did have the spine to clearly state his position on anything, he'd completely contradict himself five minutes later ... he's an empty suit, he's a liar, and he's a phony, and will say anything that is politically expedient at any given moment.Well, color me SHOCKED!

Librarian53Wed, 11 Jul 2012 11:50:19 +0000http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/?p=770531#comment-27903501Romney is the kind of politician who only has an opinion after consulting the polls of his base. That is why he flip flops so much. He had certain opinions while running in Massachusetts, a somewhat liberal place, that he completely changed once running nationally, while not giving a good reason for the change. You can't know what a person like that really believes or how he will act once elected.
Going by his personal financial life, it is pretty clear, Mitt believes in accumulating personal wealth at the expense of other Americans and doesn't feel like he should pay his fair share of taxes. He only pays around 13% on his stated income, and that isn't counting what he has hidden away in Swiss bank accounts, Cayman Island and Bermuda accounts. Compare that to the 26% the average middle-income earner pays!

Romney was asked directly and dodged. I guess if he’s afraid to state where he stands, it means he doesn’t have to flip flop. What a phony.Posted by: newcountryman | July 10, 2012, 9:36 pm 9:36 pm

Trouble is we all know now that he is pretty much an empty suit who will say about anything which fits the time and occasion. Sorry, I should have said he evolves. No, evolve is not a good word. How about revolves?
Come on, seriously. We are asking folks like the Prez and others on how they stand on court rulings? What did Obama have to say about this ruling? Oh, you mean the press did not press Obama. Really?
If OB had a stated opinion, I just flat missed it.Obama has taken several stands. Twice on no tax increases during a recession.
